Athletic Excellence

The 5-foot-9 senior libero amassed 645 digs for an average of 5.9 per set this past season, leading the Packers (28-8) to the Class AA semifinals and a third-place finish in the tournament. Chwialkowski also recorded 79 assists and 70 service aces with a serving percentage of 96.2. Ranked as the nation’s No. 47 recruit in her class by PrepVolleyball, she was an AVCA All-Region selection and concluded her prep volleyball career as a three-time All-State honoree.

Academic Achievement

Chwialkowski has maintained a weighted 4.2 GPA in the classroom. Taking advantage of NCAA early signing rules, Anderson inked a financial-aid agreement that paved the way for her to enroll at the University of Maryland, where she will play volleyball. She graduated from high school in December and will attend classes in the spring semester.

Exemplary Character

Chwialkowski has volunteered locally on behalf of Eastwood Elementary School, the West Fargo Park District and West Fargo Relay for Life. She’s a member of her school’s Philanthropy and Youth (PAY) chapter and has also donated her time as a youth volleyball coach at camps and clinics.
